My app lets users view skills they may want to learn, click a skill, and get redirected to a page showing information about the skill, in a similar layout to trade me/Facebook Market place, where you can see more info on an item you click. So far, I have all the information on a Google sheets dataset, with a list of skills. This is the user interface on the page: ![Screen Shot 2025-03-31 at 2.43.03 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/1/810f1cb17a568f30dec16386a28b4fb87d0182d5.jpeg) (idk if its loaded oops) When they click an item in the data viewer list, I want it to redirect to another page about that information specifically, but I don’t want to make an individual page for each skill. I have a layout planned, but I’m not sure how to get it to work properly. This is the layout: ![Screen Shot 2025-03-31 at 2.57.55 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/6/56cedc63ededf681155f02d6020a4a08a38d687a.jpeg) I tried to use a data grid, but I couldn’t figure out how to make it work without displaying everything on the table on one page. I would show some code, but I have none for it, as I wasn’t sure where to start. I was going to do something similar to a previous page function that I have on a couple of different pages, but reversed(?) but I’m really clueless on how to get this to work. Please help me!! I saw that one user had a similar question in March 2020, but the link provided timed out, and my brain is melting out my ears. 🥲 ---

Use this block for the click event: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/f/fff4591ff1c4861e272aa7eaf407d9acc59479a1.png) And then inside of that block, use this block to retrieve the value you need from the data source: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/a/aa76fda20a836fb4711b84cfbd9c866166c731ab.png) The “id” should contain the green `row id` block from the Item Click event block above. If you want to access the same row id on another screen, set an app variable to the green `row id` block and then use that anywhere you need a row id. ---

Thank you!! I was wondering though, which block do you use to connect the purple block (not sure what to call it) and item click? I was trying to figure it out myself, but I couldn’t think of any. ---

It depends but one way to do this is to `set label's text` to `get value from...` That way, you display the value from the data source based on the item that the user clicked. ---

This tutorial should help if you haven’t seen it yet: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/hDRI8GnzCFE/maxresdefault.jpg "How to Make a Thunkable App Interactive with Blocks (4 of 4)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDRI8GnzCFE) ---

But since you’re shifting to another screen, you’d need to set it in a variable first, then set the text to the variable. Just how it works I guess 🤷 ---
